I.B.M. slashed PC prices, introduced models based on Intel's latest microprocessor and said it would outpace its rivals.

Riding a wave of popularity for its latest microprocessor, the Intel Corporation reported today that its net income nearly tripled in the second quarter from a year earlier.

Coupling far simpler software with the latest microprocessors, the personal computer would finally become a consumer appliance.

The latest microprocessors from Intel and Motorola operate at speeds of about 20 megahertz, or 20 million cycles per second.

Digital Principles and Logic Design (Engineering) (Computer Science) This text/reference provides students and practicing engineers with an introduction to the classical methods of designing electrical circuits, but incorporates modern logic design techniques used in the latest microprocessors, microcontrollers, microcomputers, and various LSI components.

With the growing popularity of large computer monitors, high-fidelity sound cards and internal DVD-ROM and MP3 players, the quality of personal computer speaker systems is getting the sort of cachet once associated only with the latest microprocessors.

Today there are over 3000 field emission microscopes operational in semiconductor fabrication facilities worldwide, enabling companies like Intel and IBM to produce the latest and fastest microprocessors.

In an aggressive effort to reclaim its role as the standard setter for personal computers, I.B.M. yesterday slashed prices, introduced models based on the Intel Corporation's latest microprocessor, and said flat out that it would grow faster than its industry rivals for the rest of 1991.

The latest microprocessors adjust the number of cylinders in use faster than a human being can appreciate the change, said Stephen G. Poulos, a G.M. engineer.
